The Rather Shabby Universe

has anyone read this? it totally demolishes the theory that the universe is elegant. instead, it presents a picture of a cosmos that appears to have been cobbled together without any forethought whatsoever. it appears that way because there WAS no forethought, no 'intelligent design'. hey, it would be miraculous if the universe really did turn out to be elegant.

spilled out could possibly produce a coherent poem. Vertical concept.

if you spill enough cans of soup, you'll eventually get a poem. it's the same with the monkeys with typewriters reproducing shakespeare.

ps: you'll get us shunted off to the 'Spirituality' or 'Debates' forum if you keep that up😕😲🙄

Okay. Understand negative volition. Know when to cease and desist.

Does "Pretentious empty b.s." distill to 'holds a different view'?
